A family business which later became known globally, a company rooted in
Portland, Oregon, now run by the Boyle family, with Mrs. Gert personally affix
her signature on every item tested by the US company: COLUMBIA. Tests made by Columbia
on every clothes, every shoe, every jacket to be placed on the market are those
tough, testing in extreme weather conditions to ensure the highest possible
performance and maximum end user comfort. "It 's perfect, now improve
it", this simple and direct sentence does not sound much like a slogan,
but as a direction to follow: perfection.

The presentation of this fantastic company was a must, a leading outdoor
clothing industry, a company that drives us to live outdoor, well-protected and
free to go anywhere. I can only leave you with the opinions, I have one born
from having directly tested the quality of the Columbia products.

With the presentation of the new Autumn-Winter 2016-2017 Outdoor
Lifestyle, Columbia proposes the new Omni-Heat technology, waterproof material,
breathable and that keep the body heat for a high comfort level. Cold, rain,
wind, city or outdoors, all the conditions are perfect if you wear a product
signed Columbia.

I tried the Schweiz Columbia BL 1672 Cityside Fold Waterproof, an high-level
boot thanks to technology and comfort of the highest level. Skidproof,
waterproof, breathable, very stylish for both a ride into town for an exit in
the mountains. The materials used, leather and suede for the upper and mesh for
the collar, are high quality, all for an urban look ..... comfortable and hot,
really excellent product.
